02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We are there for the children of estranged parents to encourage contact between the child and both parents. We achieve this by providing a safe environment for the child to be dropped off to meet one or other parent. They can interact through play, reading and discussion and we have staff and volunteers to encourage these things and to be on hand if there are any difficulties. We also provide a hand over service where the child is handed to one or other parent and can then be taken out of the centre but to return within a specific time frame.
